The Academy Award nominee is a real handful as his latest stunt proves

Celebrities nowadays seem to be upping their social media stunts, especially when it comes to Instagram. Just last week, Rihanna was nearly banned for posting a nude photo of herself and now 36-year-old actor James Franco has jumped on board the nude bandwagon. Well, semi-nude.

The Palo Alto star shocked his Insta followers by posting a nearly nude photo of himself in the wee hours of the morning. The actor, who is currently starring in the Broadway revival of Of Mice and Men, snapped the selfie while wearing really unattractive beige boxers which were strategically lowered with his right hand covering his manhood. Are we creeped out by it? Never.

Leaving nothing to the imagination, we now know that the Academy Award nominee is NOT a fan of the boy-zilian. The cheeky actor deleted the saucy selfie an hour after he posted it but that gave the internet enough time to grab a screenshot.

Is James just trolling us or is this a cry for help? Either way, for a guy who's currently the face of Gucci, we thought he'd know the importance of sexy underwear.
